The drops as big as your hands and face

I have a problem with the windows in our bedroom. When it rains, the drops sound like tiny pellets of glass hitting the window, rather than just water. WTF is up with that? And how do I fix it???

Because it KEEPS me UP when I should be ASLEEP, dammit!

I'm a light sleeper, so thunderstorms at night, or even just rain at night, do not mix well with me. I can't think of anyway around it, besides building an overhang that keeps the rain from hitting the windows so directly. And that just seems stupid to me, yanno?

I can wear earplugs, yes, but I have this weird habit of losing patience with them after wearing them for only a couple of hours, and I take them out without even knowing it (it's like sleepwalking, but it's really just sleepearplug removing...less dangerous, but still disconcerting - I once lost an earplug back in 1997, and I actually went to the doctor the next day because I had convinced myself I had sleepshoved it in my ear canal), and then I wake up what I guess to be about an hour later confused about being able to hear things and also unable to fall back asleep again very soon. Especially if its still stormy out, or what have you.

Are your window frames metal? I know this sounds weird but they make those air conditioner redirect things that maybe you can attach when it rains? Or get a retractable valance made (when it's in the budget)?
